The Agent for Windows Systems includes the Remote Agent for Windows Servers and the Continuous Protection Agent. This agent expands network-wide data protection and optimizes data transfers for 32- and 64-bit remote Windows servers, including local registry and system state information. Exclusive Agent Accelerator technology helps maximize backup and recovery performance by providing source-level compression and distributed processing at the client. The result is reduced network traffic and maximized data throughput.

The Continuous Protection Agent functionality enables continuous disk-based data protection for remote file servers with LAN or WAN connectivity to the Backup Exec Continuous Protection Server. Continuous disk-based protection simplifies backups by consolidating data protection into a central server, eliminates the backup window needed to protect each file server, and provides faster restores by helping to ensure business-critical data is immediately accessible. Point-in-time snapshots of data on the Continuous Protection Server are periodically captured and protected to provide versioning and granular point-in-time recovery of files. Full system state information is also protected. End users can seamlessly retrieve previous versions of files using Backup Exec Retrieve, a simple Web-based recovery tool.
